SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The proposed FBI facility would

area, in addition to field offices and information technology centers 
nationwide. The project requirements are for an overall square footage 
of 256,425 gross square feet, and will include the records storage 
building, support area, visitor's screening facility, service center, 
and guard booth. Parking is proposed at 427 spaces. A Notice of Intent 
to prepare a Supplemental Draft EIS was published in the Federal 
Register at 80 FR 8311 on February 17, 2015. A public scoping comment 
period was held for 30 days following publication of the Notice of 
Intent.
    The alternatives fully evaluated in the Supplemental Draft EIS 
include the No Action Alternative, the Arcadia Route 50 property, and 
Whitehall Commerce Center.

upon the analyses presented in the 2007 Final EIS, and documents the 
Section 106 process under the National Historic Preservation Act of 
1966, as amended (36 CFR part 800). The Supplemental Draft EIS 
addresses changes to the proposed action relevant to environmental 
concerns and assesses any new circumstances or information relevant to 
potential environmental impacts.

state, and local agencies. The Supplemental Draft EIS is available for
